A Russian warship fired warning shots. This happened in the English Channel. A couple was there on a yacht. The yacht is called Bright Future. The couple is from Great Britain.
Russia says: The yacht was on a collision course. It did not listen to radio messages. The couple says: That is not true. No one called them on the radio. The warship fired shots suddenly.
Keir Starmer leads the British government. He calls the shots reckless. He spoke about it at the G7-summit. Starmer says: Russia acts in a bad way in Europe. The warship guards the Russian shadow fleet.
The shadow fleet carries oil for Russia. It wants to avoid punishment. The British navy watches these ships closely. Recently, it stopped a Russian tanker. The warship wants to scare other ships.
No one was hurt in the event. There was no damage. The British government takes the event seriously. It does not want to react too strongly. It thinks this is a single event.
